Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Maps & Locations Guide: Every Area Covered

Q: What is new in the map compared to the first two games?

The map is roughly twice the size at about 20.8 square kilometres across 14 districts. Manhattan returns and Brooklyn and Queens are added: Brooklyn splits into Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Little Odessa, while Queens splits into Astoria and Downtown Queens. The Coney Island stretch and the Brooklyn Bridge are both on the map, and the lower-rise outer boroughs are why Web Wings exist.

Q: Do Peter and Miles share progress?

Partly. City activities, gadgets and the 26-skill shared tree apply to both. The exclusive trees do not: Peter has 19 skills of his own and Miles has 17, and those points come from playing as that character. Switching between them regularly in the open world keeps both trees filling rather than leaving one behind.

Q: How many gadgets are there?

Five. Web Shooters and Upshot are available from the start, then Web Grabber, Concussion Burst and finally Ricochet Web, which takes the longest to unlock. Concussion Burst becomes Sonic Burst later in the campaign when Peter and Miles retune it to disrupt symbiotes. The Web Grabber is generally considered the strongest of the five once Grabtastic and Heave Ho are bought.

Q: What does New Game Plus add?

It carries your progress into a fresh run and converts levelling into Ultimate Levels, each costing 40,000 XP against the 4,000 that regular levels need. Every Ultimate Level unlocks a new suit style, and getting all of them means reaching Ultimate Level 9. Ultimate difficulty also becomes available once the campaign has been finished once.

Q: How does the PC version hold up?

Nixxes handled the port and it launched on 30 January 2025 with ray tracing, DLSS 3 upscaling, ultra-wide support and DualSense features when the controller is wired. It is the same content as the PlayStation 5 release rather than a cut-down version, and the graphics options go well beyond the console presets.

Researched and editorially reviewed. Updated August 12, 2026.

Insomniac's sequel came to PC on 30 January 2025 in a port handled by Nixxes, and it roughly doubles the map of the first two games to about 20.8 square kilometres across 14 districts. Manhattan returns, and Brooklyn and Queens are new, including the Coney Island stretch. You switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales in the open world, and each has his own skill tree alongside a third tree they share: 19 skills for Peter, 17 for Miles and 26 in the shared tree. Peter's line runs through the mechanical Spider-Arms into the symbiote and out the other side into Anti-Venom, while Miles builds on the bio-electric Venom powers he had in his own game.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order: what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.

Area Progression Order

Order	Location	Difficulty	Key Rewards	Recommended Role
1	Astoria	Open world, low-rise traversal territory	District completion, Spider-Bots, Photo Ops, FNSM Requests	Peter with the symbiote
2	Downtown Queens	Open world, good first district to hit 100 percent	District completion, Prowler Stashes, Hunter Blinds, EMF Experiments	Peter with the symbiote
3	Downtown Brooklyn	Open world, the densest activity district outside Manhattan	District completion, Mysteriums, Marko's Memories, Symbiote Nests	Peter with Spider-Arms
4	Williamsburg	Open world, stealth and rooftop territory	District completion, Hunter Bases, Unidentified Targets, Spider-Bots	Peter with Spider-Arms
5	Little Odessa	Open world, quickest district to complete	District completion, Spider-Bots, The Flame encounters, Photo Ops	Peter with Spider-Arms

Astoria: Starting Area

One of the two Queens districts and the more residential of them, all low-rise blocks and elevated track rather than the tower canyons of Manhattan. Swinging is harder here because anchor points are lower, which is exactly where the Web Wings and wind tunnels earn their place.

Attribute	Detail
Difficulty	Open world, low-rise traversal territory
Key Rewards	District completion, Spider-Bots, Photo Ops, FNSM Requests
Recommended Role	Peter with the symbiote
Key Weapons	Upshot

What to Do Here

Learn the basics of Two Spider-Men on one save. This is where you practice without heavy punishment.
Collect starting resources and your first weapons upgrade.
Clear all main content before moving to Downtown Queens.
If you're struggling, read our beginner's guide.

Downtown Queens: Early Game

The denser half of Queens, with enough height to swing properly and enough ground-level activity to make it a good district to clear early. It sits close enough to the river that a wind tunnel launch drops you straight into Manhattan.

Attribute	Detail
Difficulty	Open world, good first district to hit 100 percent
Key Rewards	District completion, Prowler Stashes, Hunter Blinds, EMF Experiments
Recommended Role	Peter with the symbiote
Key Weapons	Upshot

What to Do Here

Focus on mastering Parry and Perfect Dodge. It's critical from this point on.
Farm for Upshot if you don't have it yet.
Complete all objectives for maximum rewards.
Prepare for the difficulty spike in Downtown Brooklyn.

Downtown Brooklyn: Mid Game

The largest Brooklyn district and the one carrying the recognisable landmarks, including the Brooklyn Bridge, Prospect Park and the Coney Island stretch on the map's southern edge. It has the widest spread of activity types of any single district.

Attribute	Detail
Difficulty	Open world, the densest activity district outside Manhattan
Key Rewards	District completion, Mysteriums, Marko's Memories, Symbiote Nests
Recommended Role	Peter with Spider-Arms
Key Weapons	Upshot

What to Do Here

This is the main skill check. Bring an optimized build.
Web Shooters becomes accessible here. Prioritize getting it.
Master Three skill trees for the boss encounters.
Check our boss guide if you get stuck.

Williamsburg: Late Game

Mid-rise Brooklyn with warehouse roofs and short blocks, which makes it good ground for the Web Line and for stealth approaches to Hunter Bases. The river edge feeds directly into a wind tunnel run back toward Manhattan.

Attribute	Detail
Difficulty	Open world, stealth and rooftop territory
Key Rewards	District completion, Hunter Bases, Unidentified Targets, Spider-Bots
Recommended Role	Peter with Spider-Arms
Key Weapons	Web Shooters

What to Do Here

Full build optimization is expected by this point.
Web Shooters should be your primary, fully upgraded.
Web Wings and wind tunnels mastery starts mattering here.
Farm resources for the push into Little Odessa.

Little Odessa: Endgame

The smallest of the three Brooklyn districts and the one most players clear last. Being compact makes it the quickest district to take to 100 percent once you know where the collectible types cluster.

Attribute	Detail
Difficulty	Open world, quickest district to complete
Key Rewards	District completion, Spider-Bots, The Flame encounters, Photo Ops
Recommended Role	Peter with Spider-Arms
Key Weapons	Web Shooters

What to Do Here

This is endgame. Best-in-slot gear and a perfected build are mandatory.
See our boss guide for endgame fight strategies.
The reward loop: clear content → upgrade → push harder content.
Experiment with Shared tree generalist for variety once you've mastered the meta.

Exploration Tips

Clear areas in order: Astoria → Downtown Queens → Downtown Brooklyn → Williamsburg → Little Odessa. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
Check every corner: Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
Match your weapons: Some areas favor different weapons types.
Read the walkthrough: Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
Don't rush: Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
